It's been a while so here's a new #IntroductionPost.

I'm from #Yorkshire but live in #Cumbria.

I'm a #Vegan #Atheist #Pagan #Witch.

I have too many #Hobbies, including #Knitting #Crochet #Spinning and #ChocolateMaking. I'm learning #Bellringing and a few #Languages. I want to learn #Weaving and #Embroidery.

I collect #TarotCards, #AntiqueSewingMachines, #SpinningWheels, #CraftSupplies and #OldStuff.

I love #PetRats #StoneCircles #Churches #Cathedrals #Castles #OldBuildings and my #ToDoList.

Early birthday present to myself! I’m excited to clean it up and see what I’m working with, though it will have to compete with the sheet metal project already in progress.

"I don't like these old sewing machines, they can only do straight stitches. How are you gonna do button holes?!"

Well, 1950's tech had a solution for that.

Are there any folks out there who know about #antiquesewingmachines or can point me in the right direction?

This is a Hengestenberg Regina, made in (about) 1890.

It belonged to my Great Grandmother, and has been passed down to me. The hand crank works and the needle goes up and down, but the bobbin winder doesn't work due to the rubber wheel being very old and seizing. I've got a new one on order, so I am hoping that will work and I will be able to fill the bobbin and see if it will sew!
